In recent scenario, women are suffering from breast cancer disease across the world. Mammography is one of the important methods to detect breast cancer early; that to reduce the cost and workload of radiologists. Medical image processing is a tremendous technique used to determine the disease in advance to reduce the risk factor. To predict the disease from 2-D mammography images for diagnosing and detecting based on advanced soft computing paradigm. Still, to get more accuracy in all coordinate axes, 3-D mammography imaging is used to capture depth information from all different angles. After the reconstruction of this process, a better quality of 3D mammography is obtained. It is useful for the experts to identify the disease in well advance. To improve the accuracy of disease findings, deep convolution neural networks (CNN) can be applied for automatic feature learning, and classifier building. This work also presents a comparison of the other state of art methods used in the last decades.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of the pre-trained models and compare them with the probability percentage of prediction in terms of execution time. This study uses the COCO dataset to evaluate both pre-trained image recognition and object detection, models. The results revealed that Tiny-YoloV3 is considered the best method for real-time applications as it takes less time. Whereas ResNet 50 is required for those applications which require a high probability percentage of prediction, such as medical image classification. In general, the rate of probability varies from 75% to 90% for the large objects in ResNet 50. Whereas in Tiny-YoloV3, the rate varies from 35% to 80% for large objects, besides it extracts more objects, so the rise of execution time is sensible. Whereas small size and high percentage probability makes SqueezeNet suitable for portable applications, while reusing features makes DenseNet suitable for applications for object identification.

Handwriting Analysis has been used for a very long time to analyze an individual’s suitability for a job, and is in recent times, gaining popularity as a valid means of a person’s evaluation. Extensive Research has been done in the field of determining the Personality Traits of a person through handwriting. We intend to analyze an individual’s personality by breaking it down into the Big Five Personality Traits using their handwriting samples. We present a dataset that links personality traits to the handwriting features. We then propose our algorithm - consisting of one ANN based model and PersonaNet, a CNN based model. The paper evaluates our algorithm’s performance with baseline machine learning models on our dataset. Testing our novel architecture on this dataset, we compare our algorithm based on various metrics, and show that our novel algorithm performs better than the baseline Machine Learning models.

The conjecture of stock exchange is the demonstration of attempting to decide the forecast estimation of a particular sector or the market, or the market as a whole. Every stock every investor needs to foresee the future evaluation of stocks, so a predicted forecast of a stock’s future cost could return enormous benefit. To increase the accuracy of the Conjecture of stock Exchange with daily changes in the market value is a bottleneck task. The existing stock market prediction focused on forecasting the regular stock market by using various machine learning algorithms and in-depth methodologies. The proposed work we have implemented describes the new NN model with the help of different learning techniques like hyperparameter tuning which includes batch normalization and fitting it with the help of random-search-cv. The prediction of the Stock exchange is an active area for research and completion in Numerai. The Numerai is the most robust data science competition for stock market prediction. Numerai provides weekly new datasets to mold the most exceptional prediction model. The dataset has 310 features, and the entries are more than 100000 per week. Our proposed new neural network model gives accuracy is closely 86%. The critical point, it isn’t easy with our proposed model with existing models because we are training and testing the proposed model with a new unlabeled dataset every week. Our ultimate aim for participating in Numerai competition is to suggest a neural network methodology to forecast the stock exchange independent of datasets with reasonable accuracy.
